Memphis just doesn't have enough weapons. When ZBo is contained, Gasol or Conley can't perform well with their own shares and make up ZBo's part. Someone has got to step up, and they have nobody. Spurs on the other hand, Parker is the only one playing great game after game. TD and Manu always did something nice periodically, but none of them is forced to do the heavy lifting for 36 minutes. Neal, Green, Leonard, and even Splitter and Bonner have all contributed, both offensively and defensively. The game just becomes so easy for the Spurs, as everyone can score, given the opportunity. How could the Spurs not win? Memphis reminds me of the TMac-Yao Rockets, sometimes. Top 2 scorers scoring 40 points "only" will lead to a loss for sure. It just won't cut it in playoffs, facing a team like Spurs.
JVG before a jump ball between Zach Randolph and Matt Bonner: "And this should be the lowest jump ball in the history of the NBA" God I miss that guy!
You know who else doesn't get the credit they deserve? Tony Parker. He is rarely mentioned in the best PG debate but all he does is make deep playoff runs and put up all-star numbers. I remember during the last Clips/Spurs game when Parker destroyed Paul, I changed my mind and thought he was the best PG in the league. Paul is SICK, but you have to give the nod to Parker no?
he get's overlooked because he does'nt put up stats that jump off the page but this year he's been on another level.
He didn't look like he choked against OKC I can't believe how easily what turned everyone against Memphis. Damn. Allen went down hard.
To me, it looked as if Tony Allen flopped for the flagrant call. He could hit pretty good, but he was holding his head even though his head didn't even hit the floor.....
